I forget just what court he was Judge of, but he had been traveling South for his ' s health, and had just figur(Kl up that he had ! j paid out $25 in fees to waiters, and was mad , all the way through. He vowed by his < baldness that he wouldn't pay out another ( red cent, and we encouraged him as hard < as we could. ( When we went up to the hotel the land- ( lord gave us a big room with three beds in ( it. A big negro brought the trunks up, and , when he was ready to go the Judge called j to him and began : \ "Colored person, stand up! Now I want \ to say to you that I shall expect prompt ser- s vice without fees. You have Drought up ( my trunk; that's all right?it was your bus- \ iness to. I shall want water, and I may j want fire, and I shall probably ask you to ( go on errands, but if you even look fees at ( me I'll throw you out of the window!" j We were there two days, and the waiter was vigilant, humble and willing, but as we ( made ready to depart the morning of the { ?- third in comes a constable with a warrant to arrest the Judge for threats of personal violence. It had been sworn out before a Justice ten miles away, and the complainant was the negro waiter. It took the two of us to hold the Judge down on his back during his first paroxysm, and when he had cooled off a little the negro slipped into the room and said: "White man, stand up! Now I want to say to you dat a five dollar bill will settle dis yer case jist as I feel now, but if you goes tocallin' names or nullin' hair or kickin' I'll stick for $25! Dat Justice am my own brudder, and he's jist achin' to send some white man ter jail fur six months!" We sat on the Judge again for about twenty minutes, at the end of which time he handed over the amount and was pronounced sane. How the Turk Awoke.?James Turk, a guileless citizen of Detroit, was ambling around St. Louis the other day, when a stranger stopped him, offered him a cigar and said: "You have a frank and honest face, and I appeal to you to do me a favor." "Well, I reckon I will, unless you want to borrow money." "Oh, no! no! You see that clothing store over there? Well, on the left as you go in is a counter full of overcoats. I want one the worst way, but the price is $20, and I don't want to pay over $15. I could have beaten him down, I think, except that we both got inad and I left." "Well, what do you want of me?" "Simply go in and offer him $15. If he accepts bring the coat to me on the corner below. If he refuses, you will have my gratitude all the same." James promptly consented, and when he offered $15 for one of the coats the dealer promptly accepted. It was done up in a neat bundle, and Mr. Turk carried it to the corner for delivery and payment. The other party was not there. Mr. Turk waited ' half an hniir? hpoo./iiiQrforu?nvflran hnnr I and the idea crept through his wool that he t had been sold. He returned to the clothier f and asked: ( "What isyourasking price for these over- c /wvafo 9m "Eight dollars." J "But I paid you $15!" i "Oxactly. Vhen a man comes in und j likes to pay me dot price I vhas foolish to { drive hira avhay!" ( Mr. Turk reached home with two over- x coats, and he is so pale and quiet and sad- c appearing that his friends whisper their A fears of consumption. ^ i Good Fok Both.?The French comedi- j an, Perlet, was extraordinarily thin. At f last he beeame such a skeleton that he con- ? suited a physician, who recommended him g to try some baths in the Pyrinees. Hav- c ing obtained leave of absence from his man- \ ager he betook himself to the mineral c springs, where he bathed unremittingly, but all in vain; he did not increase in size. g "Patience," urged the doctor; "there is 8 nothing like our baths for making people \ fat." m t One day whirc Perlet was waiting phi- c losophically in his bath for an embonpoint r which never came, he heard a conversa- t tion in the next room, from which his own was divided by ouly a thin partition, and c which was occupied by an enormous wo- t man, fat as the Hottentot Venus. r *** "jLKXJtor," sua sne, "i am getting urea 01 t this." t *'Why ?" asked the Esculapius. s "I haVe been here two months." . "Well, I am as enormous as when I } came." , "A little patience, madame," urged the j doctor; there is nothing like our baths for making people thin." Perlet, hearing these words, sprang out of ' his bath, dressed, rushed home to his hotel, l ordered his bill and left for Paris by the next train.?San Francisco Argonaut. t 4 ? Western Enterprise.?A wholesale ^ merchant of New York, who has just re- J turned from the West, admits that he had never given that country proper credit for 1 its enterprise. As he passed through De- ^ troit, he was sought out and offered a sixty ' dollar coffin for $28, with a deed of a burial lot thrown in. In Chicago a man offered to , kill him for three cents, and an ice wagon ! went a square out of its way to run over him. In Milwaukee he was coaxed to ac- _ cept for nothing a half interest in a fire es- ' cape bringing in $75,000 per year. In In- . dianapolis he found one of his old employ- ? ees who admitted an embezzlement as far back as 1859, and forced him to take a check ? for principal and interest. He still has the ? check to prove it. At Mackinac they took him for a lord (rates$8.00 per day), and at ^ Cleveland he was taken for a bunko man s and had to identify himself by telegraph. J Had he been of an agricultural turn of mind J he could have bought 600 acres of land of a t Toledo man for the trifle of $500. The land 1 was all on the bottom of Lake Erie, and he would have had no fences to build nor taxes { to nay. He returns completely charmed 1 witn the West. Also, minus hisgold watch. Wall Street News. Always the Cheapest.?Boarder at the head of table as a slice of water-melon is placed before him for dessert: i "Mrs. Boggs, may I ask you a question ?" s "Certainly, sir." c "May I ask you if there is any difference a between the price of a green and a ripe a watermelon?" r "Yes, sir?about ten per cent." s "In favor of the green, I presume?" t "Yes, sir." t "And that's?that's?" t "That's why I buy the green ones." c A newly-married Austin lady does not know anything about housekeeping, r out is anxious 10 nave ner iiu^uuuu ueiieve i i that there is nothing in the housekeeping 1t line that she does not know. lie happen- 1 ed to be in the room when the cook came ? and said : "Will you please gib me out de } coffee.

"Let the water boil, Matilda," re{ilied Mrs. Bigman, calmly ; "the longer it ( >oils thestronger it will be."?Te.ra* Sifting*. j Minks?"Things seem to have gone | wrong with you. Don't wan't to hurt your ' feelings, but I can't help noticing that you !! look very seedy." Winks?"Yes, I've been speculating." Minks?"Well, I suppose you had better j sense than to go into Wall street. Did you |1 go in of your own notion?" ( Winks?"No; I was taken in." "What time is it, sonny?" asked a gen- ' tleman of a boy on an Austin street car. < The boy smiled, and looking at his astro-! i nomical time piece replied: i s "Do you wan't the exact time?" j "If you please."

(V competitive trial in cotton raising in Georgia, in which seventy-five planters participated. A fertilizer company in the State offered $800 in gold for the best yield of cotton made on ground enriched with their fertilizer, and four Jersey bulls for the best yield produced by clubs. The highest yield was 1,345 pounds of lint cotton to the acre, or three and a half bales of 450 pounds each. The lowest yield was 430 pounds or a bale to the acre. The average of the seventy-five farmers was 774 pounds, or nearly two bales to the acre. To secure this, they used an average of 888 pounds of the fertilizer, which cost $15.54. The cotton brought $00.00, leaving a net profit of $41.12 to the acre, the cotton seed nearly paying for the cultivation. "At a bale to the acre above the cost of the fertilizer, any farmer can get rich," says the Constitution, and "he seventy-five made more than that average. The returns from the State show that on an average three and a half acres were required to produce a bale, or seven acres under the old method, to secure what the new method produced from one acre?a demonstration of the profits of improved farming which will not be lost on the planters of the cotton belt. The corn premiums produced results equally gratifying. There were sixteen contestants, and the average yield was eighty-one bushels to the acre, the first premium being taken with 11GA bushels. The interest in these contests, and their success, prove that the Southern planters are "abandoning the loose, old plantation methods, and are> beginning to see the profits and comfort in small farms, well tilled." A steady following of this system will pay that section better than all the politics it ever indulged in. - i fUfldituj fat the JWrbath. CONDUCTED BY REV, ROBERT LATHAN. Original. | THE PURPOSE. Long ago, it was regarded as the part of a ! fool not to think. At present it is charac- j teristicof a fool not to think; and it will j ever be characteristic of all fools that they | do not think. Fools have no end in view? ! no purpose to accomplish?and they effect j nothing that is of any real value, either for | themselves or any one else. When, then, we contemplate the vast machinery of the j universe we are forced to inquire why, or for what purpose was all this brought into ] existence, or why is it preserved in being? If we admit that God is its maker and preserver we may well ask: What did God have in view when he brought all this mighty fabric into being; and for what purnose does he stretch out over it his protect- j lug hand ? Why was man brought into being, and why is this earth peopled with so many human beings ? Or, we may sum up all the parts into one grand whole, and ask the question, what end is it proposed to accomplish by all this? J Shall we say God had no purpose in creat- j ingand that he has no purpose in preserv- . ing? This would be to regard the Maker , and Preserver of all things as a veritable < fool. Surely God had some purpose in view I when he created the world and all that it ' contains. Surely he has some purpose to 1 accomplish in preserving all things in exist- ] ence. It cannot be otherwise; and to con- j elude otherwise would be not only to charge < God foolishly, but ito stultify ourselves. i In every part of creation, and in all the < events of providence, there are some mnni- j festations of design. It is not claimed that ihese manifestations are so clear that in ev- } ery part of creation, and in every event of t providence, they are discovered by a simple t inspection. Still there are evidences of a 1 purpose in creation and provideuce, which 1 force themselves upon us. It is manifest, from the acts of men gen- , erally, that the fewest number ever se- < riously ask themselves the question, "For ] what was I made ?" It is also manifest that I the great mass of the human family have ( practically concluded that they were made j for purposes utterly unworthy of their Ma- , ker. No sensible being can be induced, by ' any amount of arguments, to believe that < God had no other purpose in creating and ] preserving men than tnat which the mass of mankind are apparently attempting to accomplish. Who can believe that God made and preserves any being for no other purpose except that the individual might gratify his bestial appetites for a few years and then, like a beast, lie down and die ? Who can believe that God had no other view in creating any member of the human family except that the individual might toil night 1 and day, on the battle-field or in the forum, , to win a fame which is as unreal as a shad? 7Lrinrl ofonfnrl UW VV Jill CUI1 UCIICVV3 mat uuu tica^u any man for no other purpose than to hoard i up wealth, which the hoarder himself knows, from the experience of hundreds of generations, and from his own observation, will dissolve like a morning vapor into nothing? , It is most evident to the reflecting mind thatMc object which God had in view in 1 creating all things, was his own glory. The 1 same is true with regard to his providen- 1 tial care. For his own glory he extends his i preserving power to all his creatures?to J the least as well as the greatest?to the ant j that the careless traveler crushes with his < foot, as well as to man created in his own ( image. By him were all things created; 1 and for him were all things created. ! Again, it may be asked, What was the ( purpose for which God sent his Son into the , world, and the Son was sent by the Father? The answer comes, loud and prompt, by thousands of selfish souls, "to save sinners." That is true; but the saving of sinners by ( the death of Jesus Christ was not the main purpose for which Jesus died. It was the , means chosen in infinite wisdom to accom- j plish the purpose which God had in view in i sending his Son into the world. The purpose which God had in view 1 in devising, executing and applying the , scheme of salvation was, in the language of Paul, the "praise of his glory." Eph. 1:12. , So far as sinners are concerned their salva- : tion is a great and glorious thing; but it is ' not to be compared to the glory of God. ! Peace on earth and good will toward men ' on the part of God are more to be desired : th?n rrnld : vea. than much fine erold: but tiiey are things second in importance to the i glory of God. The chief end of man isthe glory of God. ! For this God made us, and for nothing else. 1 For the glory of God, and for nothing else, Jesus died and rose again. Enjoying God forever flows from glorifying God with acer- : tainty which cannot fail. On the other hand, God cannot be enjoyed, ] either in this world or in the world that is i to come, unless he is glorified here on earth. , Christ glorified God the Father in that he , obeyed, suffered and died in the stead of .? sinners. Christ glorified his father by tak- i ing upon himself human nature, and this the Father declared when he announced ' him as his well-beloved Son in whom he , was well pleased. Christ glorified his father ( by all that he said, by all that he did, and i by all that he suffered. s The only way that is open for us to heaven ' is by glorifying God, and the only way that J we can glorify God is by believing on'Jesus 1 Christ. , The only reason that any of us will fail to , enjoy God forever is that we will refuse or < neglect to glorify God through Jesus Christ < his Son. 1 [Original.] 1 THE OLI) AND THE NEW. The bells which rang out the old year rang in the new. The year 1884 will never re- s turn. Its opportunities which were either i neglected or abused are gone and gone for- 1 ever. They will never return. This may 1 cause sadness, but it is nevertheless true. , The child is one year nearer manhood, and the man is one year nearer old age, and .< all the living are one year nearer eternity, i Days and months and years will come to an 1 end, but eternity will have no end. About forty-three and one half millions of the human family, from various causes, during the , year just closed, passed from time to eternity. Some of these were our dear friends, i Their departure filled our homes with sad- ' nessand our hearts with grief. We will see 1 them no more here on earth. They are in , eternity. Some of them, how many, we , know hot, left a world of sin and sorrow and : are now wiiere tnere are no rears, no signs, 110 heart aches. They are saved both from i sin and sorrow. What a glorious exchange ! j others, we know not how many, are gone to that place where God has, in the language of j the Scriptures, forgotten to be gracious. No t matter how comfortable they were here they i are miserable there ; no matter how miserable they were here, they are more miserable there. We know not the names of those who were saved, neither do we know the ' names of those who were lost. These are facts which God has not made known to us. lie has made 110 revelation on the point and we should be very thankful that such is the case. We do, however, know the class to which all the saved belong, and we do know ' as certainly the class to which all the lost be- ' longed. There are hut two classes, believers and unbelievers. All believers are saved | and all unbelievers are lost. Such being; the case, we infer that all, who, during the | last year, died exercising a living faith in i Jesus Christ, are safe in heaven, from sin and sorrow set free. The remainder, be it large or small, are all lost?lost forever?be-1 yond the reach of redeeming grace?in that | place where hope never comes. Now, what will occur during this year? I . The sun will rise and set as it did during the I ' .1. 'nun-? ...:n .,,,,1 i JKIM, IIIUIC >vili uu nvcu iiiuv, itnu ( harvest, cold and heat, sunshine and rain, , just as they were during the past year. In addition to these things, another forty-three i and one-half millions of the human family will die?a part of whom will be saved in 1 heaven, and the remainder lost forever. Of the number who will die, some of them, in all probability, will be individuals around whom the tendrils of our heart have en-1 twined themselves. It is scarcely within the range of a possibility that any one of us will be preserved from grief caused by the re- ' moval, from time to eternity, of some dear friend. This has, or ought to have, the effect j of soberingour thoughts. It is probable that very many of those who read these lines will never see the close )f 1885. They will join that vast multitude vho will, this year, appear before the judg- | : nent seat of Christ?some to be welcomed is friends, and others to be driven away as [ memies. ; The admonition which comes to us all from ; ;he graves of last year, and especially "from jlod's word is Be ye ready. If we are not called from time to eternity during the year 1885, the time of our departure is near at j hand. What a terrible thought it is to die | >ut; or .jesus unrist. it is notmng to cue . poor, and it is nothtng to die rich, but it is something to die with an interest in Jesus Christ, To us all he is offered freely, to us . ill he is offered fully, and, thanks be to the ' ijiverof all good, to us all he is offered in ?ood faith. Why will any ol us be lostforever lost}? The answer is, "Ye will not L'ome unto me?Jesus?that ye may have life." YORKVILLE ENQUIRER. ProspectiiH for A FINE BUGGY AS A PREMIUM!

" | Aynung man nnni'-d John Naves, living near here, had If an eating cancer oil his face which had eaten away his jjjj nose, part of ills cheek, and extended tip nearly to his eye. It was one of the most angry eating sores that I had ' ever seen. His throat finally became in vovled to "such an pr extent that he could only swallow liquid food. After us- . ing all the remedies without checking the ravages of the jrri eating cancer, his.general health was broken down, he i was confined to his bed and thought it to be only a ques- ? ^ tion of time about his death from the cancer. I put him on Swift's Specific as a last resort, and he began to Ini- J prove with the first dose. His general health improved to at once, and rapidly; his throat got well; the ravages (0 of the cancer were soon stopped; it began to heal around j)r, the edges; and after a few months treatment with s. s. s. j he has gotten entirely well. His face has all healed over with new flesh, and his general health is excellent. pit His recovery is wonderful. 11 M. F. Cru.mi.kv, M. D., Oglethorpe, Ga. ( Cancer for Many Years.
